[SOLVED]How to have changing GCB on each page

[TheLastLegion]

i've the latest version 1.5.1 and i had a question and i think i had the solution following the suggestions from this topic:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 184.0.html

so i needed unique GCB on each page as i didnt want to continually keep on creating new templates just to have different GCB code every time so i thought i get unique and do this:

Code: Select all

{global_content name='{$page_alias}'}

however it keeps on spitting out:

Code: Select all

string(61) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "globalcontent:{staff"" '}

so i went back to make sure my page and GCB name were the same
and it was

Code: Select all

{global_content name='staff'}

Code: Select all

	3	Staff	normalleftblank	Content	admin

any clues?

IF you want different content per page, then you could better call a second content-block in the template, to get a second edit-area, while editing a page...

I second that. Concerning how you call the GCB, I thing it needs to be

Code: Select all

{global_content name=$page_alias}

instead of 

{global_content name='{$page_alias}'}

Or am I wrong? But as Ronny said, if you you want to add unique content to each page, what's wrong with additional content blocks?

Code: Select all

{content block="name_of_second_block"}

Well said!

Code: Select all

{global_content name=$page_alias}

works!

i do very often for most of my answers

that page share_your_tags is the first time i finally see the content on it

fyi: on google chrome share_your_tags_here page is just a big blank page, and you've to scroll half-way down the little scrollbar to see content, just to let you know
